A former KGB comrade of Vladimir Putin's could be the
next in line to take the Russian President's place in power
the former head of British intelligence Sir Richard
Dearlove, has predicted. Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of
Russia's Security Council and long term Putin ally is
the person named.

Rumours are circulating about Putin's health. Moscow has
denied them. It will be interesting if Putin will be replaced
due to ill health.

Putin will eventually go no matter what but Biden et al will beat him to it !

Western leaders might ALL be gone first, Indyvidual,
Some have been calling it 'The Zelensky Curse' for months now.
- Leaders who support Ukraine at the expense of their own citizens and end up losing office, there's quite a list already I think.

I expect many, if not most of them will be gone.
EU leaders as well as ruling political parties in the UK and US
Truss, Biden, Von Der Leyen, Macron, Sholtz and those foolish German Greens, they'll all be gone.

Europeans are going to start feeling the sobering reality of a cold winter real soon.

Putin's announcement of a "partial mobilization" in
the Ukraine war has triggered mass protests throughout
the country and launched an exodus of Russian citizens
fearing the draft. Hundreds of thousands have fled and
continue to flee across land borders into Georgia,
Kazakhstan, and Mongolia where they are being welcomed.
Even in the Ukraine Russian soldiers will be treated
with respect if they flee from Putin.

Traffic jams are stretching for many kilometres and its
taking as long as 18 hours to reach border posts - but people
are determined to leave. Predicting a victory for Putin is
not very logical. Even a Russian dictator can't win if people
are fleeing the country. More power to them.

Putin miscalculated his invasion in the Ukraine.
And now his own people are sending him a message
with their feet.

of the war in Ukraine and what Putin wants the following
